    I wouldnt call him a bum as he put the Khan hype firmly to rest.

    Totally agree.

    Loook at his knock down against Limond and Gomez too, it was as though someone had swiped the carpet from under his feet.

    He will not go to america, even in this morning sky interview his dad was lingering in the background like a bad smell.

    Unless half his family follow him he will not go over.

    The Limmond KD was bad as was the Gomez one. The kid was genuinely hurt. Im quite shocked to see his chin is really that bad. Not since Micheal Bennett (US 2000 Heavyweight Olympian) have i seen a chin that bad. That guy used to get KO`ed from a stiff breeze. His career lasted a mere 3 years and he had to retire because his chin was so terrible. Khan is the same as he doesnt have the power to bail him out or the fundamentals to protect himself.

    You know what i actually mentioned Khans and Bennets chin to my mate last night.

    People go on about Khans size at lightweight, but as you say he isnt all that strong considering he has basically had the size advantage in every fight except Prescott.

    He is very, very flawed as you point out and when you throw in a chin which is basically made of soggy tissue paper its a receipe for someone getting seriously hurt.

    In all honesty i dont see where he can go with his career after all the hype and all the money which has been plowed into him.

    I cant be objective at all as with a chin that shockingly bad the best place for him like Micheal Bennett is retirement before he gets seriously hurt.

    That my friend is the only explanation i can come up with aswell.

    I wonder what my local Bolton Evening News will be like tomorrow, because they have been championing him as the second coming of Christ.

    As well as his chin problems which are there for everyone to see, didn't Gomez appear to hurt him with a body shot too in their fight?

    If his punch resistance is that bad it wouldn't make a difference if he moves to America or Timbuktoo

    It wont make a blind bit of diffrence who`s training him. I saw the kid hurt from a jab?!?!?! In all the years iv been watching boxing iv never seen anyone hurt from a jab, unless it was from Mike Tyson when Julius Francis was knocked down from his jab and that was after Julius was put down at least 3 or 4 times.

    I've said all along that Oliver Harrison was the wrong trainer for Khan,Warren the wrong manager/promoter, and that Khan should have been doing most of his training in the USA at least for the last two years.
